Explore beautiful architecture with Monkey Pen and learn how to draw a dome step by step using simple curves, circles, and easy building details.

Step 1: Begin with a small triangle with a circle like a dot on top.

Step 2: Under the triangle, draw a few curved lines.

Step 3: Draw a small rectangle along a curved line below.

Step 4: Underneath it, make a dome like a large arch.

Step 5: Draw a long, curved line that will be the inside edge of the dome.

Step 6: Similarly, the outer edge of the dome is also completed. Don’t forget to extend short vertical lines on the extreme corners of the outer edges.

Step 7: Below the dome, make a slightly bigger curved line.

Step 8: Draw another big, curved line for the outer edge.

Step 9: Draw two more curved lines below. 

Step 10: Draw small rectangle blocks under the curved lines.

Step 11: Add some tall vertical columns.

Step 12: Form a base by curving the bottom of each column.

Step 13: Place a long platform under the columns.

Step 14: Make another long platform underneath it.

Step 15: Add a few short columns inside the tower at the top.

Step 16: Across the dome, draw some curved lines from the top down to the bottom.

Step 17: Draw a curved line next to each of the other curved lines.

Step 18: Draw a sweeping arc over the outer edge of the dome. Don’t forget to make a big curved line above the columns.

Step 19: Add a few vertical lines inside the gap, between the curved lines.

Step 20: Beside each vertical line, draw one more vertical line.

Step 21: Form a small rectangle inside each section.

Step 22: Build tall, narrow arches between the columns.

Step 23: Here you complete an elegant dome artwork.
